2. Introduction
 Located in Miami Beach, Florida, Le Petit Papillon
Montessori School provides children with an
individualized curriculum that allows them to learn at
their own pace. Le Petit Papillon features a “green
campus” and offers pet animals for students to care
for and abundant flowers and plant life.
As a way of fostering an appreciation for nature and
the importance of taking care of the environment, the
school maintains a waste-recycling program that
involves the efforts of the students and their teachers.
Each class maintains its own garden, and members of
the school community work together in keeping up a
greenhouse.

3. Green Learning Commitment
 Classrooms contain plants as a way of
enhancing the learning environment and
freshening the air. The curriculum emphasizes
sustainability and eco-awareness, with lights
and electrical devices always turned off when
not in use. Students are encouraged to learn
about global issues and take part in
community environmental art initiatives,
including the Reclamation Project. A core
belief is that through these coordinated efforts,
the environment can thrive for many years in
the future.
